feedback

I'm waiting on feedback from my advisor on Chapter's 3 and 4. I feel a bit like I can't get started with chapter 5 until I get some feedback on 3 and 4. but maybe part of that feeling is that I feel a little lost in what should be in chapter 5, and what the actual analysis should encompass. I have a couple different ideas, but never really got an "okay" on one of them in particular.

It looks like this week will have to be a 2 day dissertation week instead of a 3 day dissertation week. I've got to try to carve out some time.

Unfortunately, I have a proposal revision to NSF that is due in mid September that will be taking up my time. That combined with trying to write a journal article for the PACE study, and preparing for the PACE conference in DC in September, I'm going to be pretty busy at work (and home).

Danskin

Danskin is over and I did better than last year..only looking at unofficial times but I'll know for sure how much better in a day or so.

I had been worried about the cold water in lake washington but it was not too bad. I made sure that I got wet before the race started--took my breath away. Better to have it happen then instead of the race start.

progress!

I sent my advisor drafts of Chapters 3 and 4. Chapter 3 is my methodology and data chapter and Chapter 4 is my exploratory analysis chapter. Those are the easiest ones. Now I've got to dig into Chapter 5 which is another analysis chapter, but more complex.

So, making progress. Headed to Lake Chelan, WA for a bachelorette party and wine tastings. I have a feeling I may come back with some wine for David and me. I am hoping to get in a run and a swim this weekend but we'll see. I'm bringing my stuff!
